'When it happens it’s uncontrollable … you’re overpowered by, you’re dominated by the culture.” Former Northwestern football players speak out about allegations of widespread, sexualized hazing in the football program.
There was a widespread, well-known culture of hazing and sexualized abuse in the Northwestern University football program and other university sports, attorneys and former players allege.Thanks to our sponsors:“As an athlete, something that we hear about ... but it’s something you say, ‘that’s not going to happen to me. It’s not. I’m going to fight back,’” said Lloyd Yates, who played quarterback and wide receiver at Northwestern for three seasons.
This planned suit, and two others already filed, come on the heels of an anonymous whistleblower’s bombshell accusations against the Wildcat football program broken by the Daily Northwestern student newspaper. “It’s hard to explain to you guys what we went through,” said former football player Tom Carnifax. “We know because we saw it for four years straight. The words we have to tell you and best describe it is not even touching a fraction of it.”
The two lawsuits already filed against Northwestern, former coach Patrick Fitzgerald, and university officials are on behalf of two separate John Does, with accusations largely along the same lines. Fitzgerald was initially suspended after a university investigation into hazing in the football program, thencame out. He’s retained longtime attorney Dan Webb to represent him, reportedly for a possible wrongful termination lawsuit.
